PVC Cladding

Can PRNZ recycle it? Yes.

Why? PVC cladding can be reprocessed and reused in manufacturing.

How should I prepare it for recycling?

  • Remove fixings and metal attachments.
  • Remove excess dirt and debris.
  • Keep separate from timber and other construction materials.

What happens next? The material is processed into recycled PVC feedstock.

Top Tip - Separate materials on site before demolition to maximise recycling opportunities.
